Olson, City Manager FROM:Constance P. Sanchez, Director of Financial Services ConstanceP@cctexas.com (361) 826-3227 CAPTION: Public Hearing on Fiscal Year 2016 Ad Valorem Tax Rate PURPOSE: The State Property Tax code requires that two public hearings be held when a taxing unit proposes a tax rate that exceeds either the rollback rate or the effective tax rate, whichever is lower. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS: The City of Corpus Christi is proposing a tax rate of $0.606264 per $100 valuation for fiscal year 2015-2016. Since this rate exceeds the effective tax rate of $0.554300 per $100 valuation, the Property Tax Code requires that the governing body schedule two public hearings on the proposal. The first public hearing will be held on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, and the second public hearing will be held on Tuesday, September 8, 2015. The vote for the final adoption of the tax rate will be held at the September 15, 2015 City Council meeting.
